The correct Answer is:
To determine the units of pressure, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definition of Pressure**: Pressure is defined as the force applied per unit area. The formula for pressure (P) is given by: \[ P = \frac{F}{A} \] where \( F \) is the force and \( A \) is the area. 2. **Identify the Units of Force and Area**: - The SI unit of force is the Newton (N). - The SI unit of area is square meters (m²). 3. **Combine the Units**: Using the formula for pressure, we can express the unit of pressure as: \[ \text{Unit of Pressure} = \frac{\text{Newton}}{\text{meter}^2} = \text{N/m}^2 \] This unit is also known as Pascal (Pa). 4. **List Other Common Units of Pressure**: - 1 Pascal (Pa) = 1 N/m² - 1 atmosphere (atm) = 101325 Pa - 1 atm = 760 mmHg (Torr) - 1 bar = 100,000 Pa = 0.9869 atm 5. **Conclusion**: The units of pressure include Pascal (Pa), atmosphere (atm), bar, and Torr (mmHg). The Newton (N) is not a unit of pressure but rather a unit of force. ### Final Answer: The units of pressure are: Pascal (Pa), atmosphere (atm), bar, and Torr (mmHg). ---
